Hi Lawrence, Thank you for your response! I originally thought about that too, but in the end decided not to specify it as I found other sections where `$ZDOTDIR` is mentioned without fallback. It seemed like more noise that needed. Anyways, here is the updated patch. Let me know what you think! Julian From d3b75e7e2af95b89194f3d4f039df5b1ad1ba9a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julian Prein Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2022 01:10:16 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Introduce ZCALC_HISTFILE Make the location of the history file to which zcalc writes customizable through the introduced variable `$ZCALC_HISTFILE`. Update the documentation to mention this variable. The updated part used to differ from the implementation as it did not mention `$ZDOTDIR`.
